HI FRED ... IN THE MUSEUM AT THE TERRITORIAL FEDERAL PRISON ... THE CELLS WERE SO HOT IN THE HEAT OF THE SUMMER ... SO THEY WOULD CHAIN UP THE PRISONERS AND SIT THEM DOWN ON THE BANK OF THE COLORADO RIVER AND ABOUT EACH HOUR THROW BUCKETS OF COOL RIVER WATER ON THEM TO KEEP THEM FROM DYING ... THE CELLS HAD METAL STEEL BEDS ... NO MATTRESS ... NO PILLOWS EITHER .... ONE OF THE TOUGHEST PRISIONS IN THE U.S.
